Learning Hypothesis Test the Flipped Way: What Do Students Feel?

Abstract

The blended approach has been found to be more effective in enhancing learning because this method increases student engagement and involvement, and thus improves their performance. This approach is also more favored among the students of the twenty-first century because by leveraging on technology, blended learning gives more flexibility and autonomy to the students. This paper discusses students’ preference towards one of the blended learning techniques that is the flipped classroom method, in learning the hypothesis test. It was found that students preferred the flipped classroom method compared to the traditional teaching primarily because it enhances their understanding. However, a number of students have mixed feelings towards the flipped classroom because they feel the effectiveness of this technique depends on their group members and the contents of the lesson.
